拍品专文

The scene depicted on this pair of dishes is likely to be from the Yuan dynasty play Xixiang ji, Romance of the Western Chamber. This is very similar to the famous scene where the young scholar Zhang Sheng, having fallen in love with Cui Yingying, expresses his feelings by playing the qin, heard by the lady herself and her maid Hong niang.
